In zsh how can I run a script which is written for bash
You can run the script with bash manually:
bash myscript.sh
A better and more permanent solution is to add a shebang line:
#!/usr/bin/env bash
Once that line is added, you can run it directly, even in ZShell:
% ./myscript.sh
As far as version control goes, you should commit this line, for the good of all the developers involved.
In addition to the solution commented by @neersighted, you should also make sure your bash script has the executive permission to run in the zsh
. Thus, you should first set the first line of your bash script with shabang:
#!/usr/bin/env bash
Then run:
% chmod +x myscript.sh
to provide such permission. Then you can run it in zsh
as:
% ./myscript.sh
